Hey, what is the name of the airport (not sure even which country its in). it is the one where the final approach path brings planes extremely low over the beach, there have been pictures of it in the graphics gallery, but I havent caught the name yet. And I believe there is a scenery pack for it, but as I dont know what it is called I havent been able to find it, can someone tell me the name of this excellent airport?

st Maarten or TNCM.
There is a good freeware scenery package avaliable on SimV I believe.

Don't get the package by Christian Delblond...it lags my system for god knows what reason... :-/ :-/

Maybe his system would be able to handle it better

Not to shoot you down, but on mine is fine. Yes, it's quite heavy on the frame rate sometime, but never under 12 fps at its worst.

Oddly enough, it runs just fine on my 5-year old rig. Strange, yes, but I'm not complaining.

I know your talking about TNCM, but another airport with a low approach is Los Roques in Venezuela.

excellent, much thanks!

alright, I just downloaded the new scenery for Maartin, can someone tell me how to install it?

I would suggest following the instructions in the readme very carefully, or looking up one of the three gazillion scenery installation tutorials floating around

There are thousands of airports with low approaches. I could get the Anet links to a bunch..

I could.

I can fly a low approach in any airport

Works fine on my system, Very Singapore still lags my system  ;D

I note a slow down with TNCM, mostly during taxi procedures, but I still maintain 20+ FPS, so TNCM is frequently a place I visit.  Much as I like the approach, I LOVE the eastbound departure with a commercial jet.

Nothing like that last minute fear if you're gonna make it over Maho Mountain eh?
